Looking for a vacation that is big on culture but also includes beach time

I'd suggest Bali. It's small so suitable for any length trip and has a variety of destinations from beach to volcano and is lush with Balinese culture. There's also a wide variety of accommodations, resorts, small to large villas with staff for a pittance (all things being relative), family-run guesthouses or more intimate upscale hotels. In other words, something for everyone.
